Molecular Determinants of Selective and High-affinity Binding of the Scaffold Protein PDZK1 to the Urate Transporter URAT1 The renal solute carrier URAT1 (SLC22A12) is essential for urate homeostasis, with loss-of-function linked to renal hypouricemia, nephrolithiasis and …

Happy to share our paper in the frame of the @sfb1453.bsky.social project that got published in @jmolbiol.bsky.social
Tremendous work from @emymrikov.bsky.social and others, on how the scaffold protein PDZK1 interacts with the urate transporter URAT1.

Delighted to see Jon Machin's lovely OMP folding and assembly work on the front cover of JMB (doi: 10.1016/j.jmb.2025.169346) and in this Faraday Discussion article (doi: 10.1039/d4fd00180). Congratulations on your great work Jonathan!

An RNA-Based Dual-Fluorescence Reporter System Reveals Cell Type-Specific and Temporal Dynamics of −1 Programmed Ribosomal Frameshifting Translational recoding events, such as programmed ribosomal frameshifting (PRF), are critical regulatory processes that enable the production of multi…

Excited to share our currently in-press article describing an improved dual-reporter system for real-time measurement of translational recoding across diverse cell types and contexts!

The Role of WIPI2, ATG16L1 and ATG12-ATG5 in Selective and Nonselective Autophagy Autophagy is a conserved cellular recycling pathway that delivers damaged or superfluous cytoplasmic material to lysosomes for degradation. In respons…

Thrilled to share my latest review on the role of the #WIPI2 and #ATG16L1 complex in both selective and nonselective #autophagy 🔍🧬 It’s fascinating how these two forms of autophagy rely on the same core machinery, yet lead to such different outcomes. What defines this divergence? Have a look here 👀
